Our home town is a historic one in TN (home of the 17th president andrew johnson) and if you live near historic places the kids loving touring those which are free you just have to find out there hours boys like looking at old guns. And most towns have free museums that are historic based, we have one called Nathanael Greene Museum that used to be an old school they turned into a museum to collect civil war items and its free and as boring as I thought it would be it was fun they had 20 rooms each with seperate themes one of which is for kids to touch & explore an old cabin replica, canue and old model T cars my 5yr old grandson loved it. And in the spring before school lets of for the summer our county schools (and we have a lot of them) have something called fun day, Do you remember those as a kid years ago? Well, I;ll be 50 yrs in March so I do & they still have them , usually on a saturday all day open house style free of charge and each room will host a kids event like Bingo/fish pond/cake walk things like that where kids play the games and for like 25 cent each & they win prizes its so much fun & they sell food real cheap like a hot dog & cake for 50 cent they have free face painting & ballons. Just call the schools around you to ask if & when they will do their fun day they welcome anyone to come & your kids will love it. sewitupjulie at gmail dot com your so right, we all like free when its available, honestly there are alout of free things for both kids & adults to enjoy but you have to go looking for it.

Everything for vacation week has been booked since the beginning of time. But, otherwise they really do make the museums accessible! GREAT ideas, as always, Mommy Niri. Thanks for putting these down in one place! Oh, how I love me some library passes. Everything for vacation week has been booked since the beginning of time.

I've intended to take my kids to Borders for months so they can enjoy the story time, but we haven't gone yet. Thanks for all the tips. I have to get into all these free things.

I love the Bookstore story times too. And I had heard about the library passes but have since forgotten. So thanks for the reminder. We haven't attending the do-it-yourself classes yet, but they do sound fun and I think they might be something my kids would enjoy. These are great tips. I love the Bookstore story times too.
